Love the '60 Buick tail lights on that one. Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
Some tract homes built in the '70s and '80s were built that way. Man, I've been on edge all week over this. We lucked out and the hill behind us...
Just keep in mind you'll need a 64-66 ST400. The nailhead doesn't have the BOP bell housing bolt pattern.
An ST400 from a '65 would be a great swap. A TH 400 is not a direct bolt on for a nailhead, as it does not have the BOP bellhousing bolt pattern.
[ATTACH] The only pic of the retailer my Buick was originally purchased from. It closed in '65 and I figure this pic was taken maybe between...
That feature used a switch that was built into the factory carburetor. Mine's been replaced with an Edelbrock and now has a pushbutton starter.

I'll have to remember the CLR trick, but I don't really have much bad rust. What I do have is the paint is flaking off badly on the hood exposing...
Sorry for the long times between updates. This working 50+ hours a week and being an adult really puts a hamper on things at times. Anyway, got...
I didn't like how they were implying that GM brass was concerned with the flathead v8 being more powerful than their offerings at the time. We all...
I'll agree on your nailhead comment. To add, Iacocca said GM would never let him produce it with 300 hp. But the 401 in that Buick had much more...
WTF was up with segment on the development of the GTO? A Buick 4 dr? Really?
Nailheads are really well built. They all came fro the factory with forged cranks, rods and pistons. Find a 401 from a later car and drop it in....
Cascade type detergent actually contains an abrasive. Though I've never used it for this purpose, I'd be careful to flush it very good for fear of...
Dang! At least link to the ad.
The hard part is not offing body panels, but finding that one person that needs that particular piece. The internet has made it easier for buyers...
I thought the same thing. Until I noticed there were a few cats roaming around the place we found the car.
The more I look at and think about it I feel the same. I think I'll clean it up really nice. Maybe replace the carpet and various rubber parts,...
That's good to know. I just looked into it, and it is indeed a tube radio. I just figured that transistors were being used in ALL radios at the...
In regards to the plates, I have every registration since 1960, plus, wait for it...they have paid the non-op since parking it. [IMG] And here's...
[IMG][IMG][IMG][IMG][IMG][IMG] I had a few minutes to drag her down to the car wash and hose the spider webs and termite shit off. Sent from my...
I found it over near the Palace of Fruit. The story's actually kind of funny. Back in March my wife and I went on a trip with my parents and I saw...
More pics to follow, right now that stupid thing called work is getting in my way. Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
I'm in Santa Rosa Ca, about an hour north of SF. I found the car in Petaluma.
I paid 1G for it. The interior has no tears in the seats, and they are decent enough that I don't have to replace them right away, and the...
HaHa! Wrong year car though.
Hey all, just wanted to say hello and show off a few pics of my latest. I've been out of the car game myself for some time, but always remained...
I was fortunate enough to have been born in Petaluma Ca. I first saw this film when I was probably 5-6 years old, it was often the 8 O'Clock movie...
I grew up in a restaurant as a kid and I remember fondly the time Fred Gwynn (Herman Munster) came in for dinner.
Those wheels are so rad. I think the Batmobile had them.
